HOW Tunis Jewesses press.

The costume OF the Jewesses of Tunis
is striking and peculiar. The first time 1
saw one standing at the door of the house
1 thought she had just got up and had
forgotten to dress herself before appear
ing in public. They wear tight, short
chemises, reaching only to the hips;
wooden sandals, fastened to the feet by a
single strap across the toes, and very
small, comical caps, called ''kuias. :"
The bottoms of their feet, the palms of
their hands and the tips of their fingers
are stained a yellowish brown with
henna, and their nails are stained black.
The kufia is of some bright color and
heavily embroidered with gold and silver.
The rest of their apparel is of silk and of
the brightest colors. When they go out
into the streets they sometimes put on
haik and bright colored greaves, with
gold or silver embroidery.
They are all inordinately fat, purposely
made so by a system of diet. They look
like ballet girls who have escaped from
the theatre in costume. The dress of the
little girls is the same, except that it is
all white. They are generally pretty,
and some of them, with regular features,
languishing black eyes, clear olive COM
plexions and dark curling tresses hanging
over their neck and shoulders, are per-
feet beauties. They lose their beauty
and become coarse soon after the fatten-
ing process begins, which is usually at
the age of 12.-Boston Advertiser.

Enelishmen Abead of Us.

English people of position surpass our
own in direct, practical forms of doing
good. The rector of a principal church
in the Isle of Wight suffers no Sunday
morning service to pass without boldly
reminding his titled hearers, after ser
mon, of the wide distress among the poor
at their gates, speaking of special cases
during the week, and urging the duty of
personal visitation, inquiry and aid, In
which, his parishioners say, he follows
his own injunctions literally. The
Baroness Bemsen gives pleasing picture
of the prompt charity of her father in the
bad harvest of 1909, when even families
of wealth were exhorted to consume as
little bread as possible at meals, and
brown bread was in fashion. He wrote
his brother at New York to send him
quantity of wheat flour, which he sold in
small quantities at cost to the poor,
standing in the servants hall and seeing
the applicants himself. Societies move
slowly, but there is nothing to prevent
any good man or woman tomorrow
setting up the sale of fuel and food ar
cost. in small quantities, which would be
the salvation of the poor of this countrT
from one of their worst niseries.-New

ton as regards him

The Decline of Hero Worship.

The American people are not as much given to hero ~ orship now as in the last ge6ertion. | have been interested lately to observe how even our most disting guished public men go up and down the land, show. themselves at the great hotels and Tn other public places, and don't even attract enough attention to make people look around. 1 sat at dinner with MT.

 "Good heavens! What an egre. gious fool am, to be sure! l came to the station to meet my cousin, Ethel Thorpe, and you-and you -"
 "Are Ethel Thurston, ] faltered. My mother is very ill at Dr. Thorpe's house, near Cranstown. did not know there was another Dr. Thorpe.'
 "I am Dr. Edgar Thorpe, his nephew" cried the young physi- clan eagerly. (And then l per ceiyed by the light of the flicker. ing taper how handsome he was, and not a day over thirty.) "And you left the train at East Grams tOwn,' he went on regretfully, full twenty miles from Uncle Ed ward'ss I thought you were my cousin Ethel-Mrs Ethel Thorpe whose little child is slightly sick at my mother g. It was so awful ly dark there at the station. COus- ili Ethel insisted on coming over iron, the city, though l assured her that nothing was wrong with Daisy save slight cold, and the little one is all right now. But, by love! Miss Thnrston, this ia too bad! Will you forgive me tor my blunder? You see your tele. gram was delivered to me at my office instead of Uncle Edwards. Your initials are the same as my cousins even your first name is the same. Quite a coincidence, iie added, in a tone which brought the blood to my checks.
 There was no help for it but to drive those twenty miles. Shall l ever forget that drive.
 One thin. is certian: Long be. fore it's close, Edgar Thorpe and l felt that we had known each other for years; only no further refer ence was made by my escort to the card photograph which 1 held tightly clasped in my hand.
 At a very late hour we drove up before a handsome cottage, with lights gleaming faintly through the dusk. and little later we were standing in d cozy drawing-rOOm, while Dr. Thorpe told the story to his aunt, d sweet-iaced, motherly old lady. who listened and laugh ed so heartily that l knew witho out askinga question that mother was better. And so sue was. '.
 She soon recovered her health entirely, but did not return to the city and the work which there awaited me. For MT. Renshawe kindly proposed that 1 take long vacation, and recuperate among the great purple mountains.
 1 found it so delightful there that the thought of going away was uncomfortable And when Ed gar Thorpe begged me to remain forever as his wife, 1 did not hesi- tate. So he won the original of the picture, and l became Ethel Thorpe indeed. And we have enjoyed many a hearty laugh over that strange coincidence and Dr. ThOrpe's odd mistake. .
